As of Aug 26, 2023, Windows command prompt absolutely does not recognize “ls” as a command.
Powershell is a different story.
Source: I type “ls” 40 times a day into a command prompt on my up-to-date win10 PC at work.
I literally just typed it into cmd.exe on Windows 10, fully updated, and it absolutely did work. No idea why it doesn’t work for you.
edit: ???
edit: it's been traced back to this:
https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases
which is an emulator toolset that I didn't know existed on my system until today.
Lmao
That is interesting. I just remoted into 5 different machines at the office and none of them worked with ‘ls’. If you enter ‘ls /?’, does it give you a synopsis and argument list?
Mystery solved, ls works for me due to this:
https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases
which is a toolset that was installed by an emulator package somewhere along the line, I just didn't know it was there.
